The graphics look wonderful, but the animations are still the same.

The animations are still fucking awful. I feel like I'm watching Quake 3.

Apparently most of the new animations haven't been implemented yet.

Don't know if that has changed since E3. I kind of doubt it since they have been working on crushing the game crashing bugs since then to try to get a release ready.

I've slackened the rules, so grab what you want. But please note that some keys may not work because sites (like Indie Gala and Indie Royale) don't keep track of what you've already used. When you have nearly 1,000 games on Steam, you start to lose track where you bought everything. :p

Just saw the Cortex Command key in the indie key dump. Which reminded me of this thread. Some of the GIFs in there are amazing:

In short, just download and install the Quake 3 Pro Installer. Install everything.

Note that the guide/faq that I posted says that you shouldn't install the Quake 3 1.32 executable if you are installing Q3 Pro in the Steam directory. That's because the Q3 Steam version executable has been modified so that the game can only be launched from Steam. However, you can safely overwrite the Q3 Steam exe with the original Q3 1.32 standalone exe. This will allow you to launch the game without having Steam running, use custom server browsers, and probably increase compatibility with servers that may be running older versions of the game.

So yeah, install all the contents from the Pro Installer. It will double the size of the game's folder (from 700 mb to 1.5 gb). The Pro Installer basically covers some basic ground when it comes to custom maps and servers, and should be considered as a sort of stepping stone towards getting more custom content.

Another thing, when entering the CD key in the game, use lowercases. The key won't work otherwise. Same with Team Arena. Also, you should allow automatic donwloads from the settings options.

And lastly, don't bother with setting up PunkBuster. Apparently PB doesn't support Q3 anymore.

EDIT: There is a program that supposedly allows you to change version on the fly (so you can go from 1.32 to 1.31 and so on). It's called Quake Switch or QSwitch. It should be pretty easy to find.

I'm going to do this later so I can get Q3 running perfectly, thanks! That said, I managed to connect to a few servers with the vanilla Steam version, but there were many that didn't let me.

There's still some keys left!

For those who're new because of the page, click here for my (Mostly) Humble DA Grab Bag!

Please note that some (or even many) codes may be dupes, because some sites don't keep track if a key was used and I can't remember where I got what games -- I have almost 1,000 on Steam.

Also, I'm considering doing another one of these but with Desura keys, which are much less likely to be dupes. Would it even be worth it? Would anyone care?

Sadly the Ship key was a duplicate, but thank you anyway!

Has anyone recently had issues with their wireless 360 controllers not calling up the big picture mode overlay when you hit the guide button? It seems like some recent update broke it for me.

Thanks! greendomo was the first account I tried to register, under my att address. But the verification email never came, so my account was stuck in limbo! So after two years of waiting and lurking, I created this account, and now I haunt the threads like I used to, but now I can post!

Apologies if this has been posted before.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is only $5 at the Sega Digital Store, redeems on Steam. Not the greatest game by a long shot, but probably worth the admission price if you're a fan of the Aliens universe.

Exactly.
I was like "okay, it's free, I might as well try it, how bad can it be? Surely not worse than Duke Nukem Forever!" Little did I know... I think I spent 10 minutes watching an alien try to walk through a chest high block to get to me during a "tense" section...

You're welcome. You're better off spending those 5$ on a game that's actually worth it. Maybe one of the bethesda deals if you don't have one of them yet, or one of the many indie/publisher bundles currently on offer on various sites.
